this morning former astronaut mark kelly, husband of former congressman and gunshot victim, gabrielle giffords, said it's time for congress to reflect the will of the american people. >> in this country we have a very powerful gun lobby, and the leadership of the nra has done a very good job over many, many years of controlling the debate on this issue. but one thing that is different now is the fact that we had 20 first graders murdered in a classroom along with six educators. i mean, that's unacceptable, and the american people, you know, want something done on this. you know, 92% of americans support a universal background check. it's 74% of nra members. i would hope at some point that the leadership of the nra would just listen to their membership on this issue. >> republican senator lindsey graham says it's not so simple. for starters, he tells our candy crowley, that we don't need additional background checks for gun buyers because the checks in place now are rarely enforced. >> before you'd expand the background check, there are 76,000 people last year failed a background check
